Lynn Kerr - An Early Costumer By: Roy Riedy |
Lynn Kerr's name was first seen in the November,1980, program of the musical Irene, directed by Janelou Buck and Carol Gose for the opening performance of the Seventh Season. Lynn's name appeared with the Seamstresses for the show.
In the Eighth Season, her name appeared in the programs of three productions. She was listed again as a seamstress for Frank Oberhausen's The Sound of Music in November, 1981; as one of the Costume Designers for the melodrama No Mother to Guide Her, directed by Jim McCollum in February, 1982; and again as a seamstress for Marian Dunham's original production The Teahouse of the August Moon, in August, 1982.
Frank Oberhausen's Camelot opened the Ninth Season in November, and Lynn appeared in that program once more as a seamstress, as she did in Carol Gose's April production of Guys and Dolls.
During the Tenth Season Lynn worked with Costumes for three shows: Marian Dunham's November musical Oliver!; Frank Oberhausen's February, Annie Get Your Gun; and Carol Gose's Can-Can in June.
Lynn was also concerned with costumes for three shows in the Eleventh Season; Carol Gose's February, 1985, Pajama Game; Marian Dunham's June production of Brigadoon; and Peter Pollard's delightful Once Upon a Mattress in August.
Frank Oberhausen's Annie opened the Twelfth Season and Lynn was his Wardrobe Consultant. Mrs. Kerr and Leena Violette also did the costumes for Sue McCollum's August comedy, Vanities. At the First Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony in October, 1986, Lynn won a Best Costume Design Zenon for her work on Frank Oberhausen's Zenon winning musical Annie.
The Thirteenth Season was Mrs. Kerr's last season with Highlands Little Theatre and she worked on only one show, Marian Dunham's November, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, not surprisingly with Costumes.
During Lynn Kerr's seven seasons with Highlands Little Theatre she worked with fifteen plays; her name appeared in seven HLT newsletters and in five local new items for a total of 28 citations. Her work was recognized and rewarded with the first Zenon Award for Best Costumes of the Season at the first possible opportunity, the First Zenon Awards Ceremony.
